Just noticed this thread :oops:

Holy moly, the force is with you....lightforce that is :lol: 8-)

How close to the roof is the foot on the hi lift mate? I've seen a few that are really close but haven't heard of any hitting while 4wding...yet :?

Also what rope did you get for the winch?

The hi-lift sits enough away that couldn't hit but I mounted it that way just the way it bolts onto the roof rack, I got the rope off eBay had it for a while before I had a winch I picked it up for $140 but it's gone up now don't have the link ATM as on using tapatalk well post up later with pics

So its been a long time since i updated my build. A bit has been added, well alot really.
Added an ARB rear step tow bar only after the tub got a kiss from a large rock :lol:
Now My drawers.

We custom made them at work, both sides of the top slide out making life really easy to get carp out of the back, has a 50l water tank that has a pump with the outlet at the face of the drawers. switch panal that control the differant outlets i have in the tray.

I have now got a ChipIt chip with EGT control, also a 3" exhaust and im loving the extra power now.
Cut some holes in the dash to put in a temperture display for the fridge, also a voltage display.

Took off the lights off the roof after a mate of mine got done for having too many lights, so i put on a 52" L.E.D light bar, :o really good light not a big distance light but a good flood.
Click to view larger picture
Replaced my aldi winch after that decided to die after a bit of a hard life and no care, i put in a TJM 9500 winch with bright yellow rope.
After all this extra weight in the rear i had the springs upgraded, now riding and sitting alot better now. My next problem was if the springs could drop how much weight am i holding, well found out that i have just over 100kg left on my GVM :shock: :shock: so not sure on what to do about this yet but iv taken out alot of crap and put the AT's on for now.

The weight is a problem mate, short of buying F250's have to compromise somewhere....

Is your tank the Enmach Industries?

Can you see it in the mirror ?

I looked at them and it seemed to me it would sit high in the ute body.........

Yeah the thats to one Salt, it is a higher than the tub body but i dont really notice it in the mirror it sits about the same level as the back seats. Was a mother of a job to get it in mine we had to modify the interal bars for the roof rack. But very happy with it works well and is very compact aprox 100mm thick

That's what attracted me to it, not much room taken up, Good news then, I forgot to look at the back seat.....

On the shopping list then ;) Sounds like I will get it before making the canopy.

so can you get the larger tyre (33's) to fit as your spare?


I also got 33" tyres and could not get that into the rear with out modifying the towbar and exhaust tail piece. So I got rid of them running again on the small ones but next week my 32" tyres will be delivered!

Timbo the ride looks great but how did you go about doing the switches? I've just started doing this and just want to get an idea of how other people did it as well

Thanks
